I agree with this statement.

Hmmm....

And just what, to your mind, are the "questions" and "doubts" you lament here?

To mind, the only questions and doubts are the Vaticanus and Sinaiticus which have been proven to not align with any reliable manuscripts. Why do you think they were in obscurity for so long, in such wicked hands?

I am not the one basing my belief on fallacious roots.

Well then let me say that anyone who spends too much time in classes easily fall victim, and even prey for that matter, to the docrtrine of man. That doctrine that glorifies man's intellect rather than the Lord's Spirit.

Moodee, if your fundamentalism is about fundamentalists, then maybe you ought to reconsider your position as a D.L. Moody supporter? THe last time I heard, when people start adding to the Word of God and taking away from it, it was called Pharaseeism. You should be careful about what you "learn" and from whom you are learning it.

Love in Christ,

Yeah I'm KJV also. Mind you anyone who is saved is my brother and sister in Christ and I love them whether they read KJV or not.

When I became saved 7yrs ago I started reading KJV and have ever since. You know God can give us discernment of his word. When I pray before I read I give Him thanks first for the opportunity to read His word, then thanks for His word, etc. then I ask Him to help give me the wisdom and knowledge of His word as I read it. To show me what it is He would have me to see there in reading. (God can take the same scripture and use it in many different ways to show us things.) I finish my prayer. With the help of a concordance with the bible and God being my guide and help, that's all I need.

God Bless!

Well Said.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Geneva Bible (I will admit that I didn't read all the post in this section, but I did do a quick search on "Geneva" and it didn't show up in this section).

I have heard that the 1599 is generally regarded as the "best" at least by the authors I have read on the subject. I have found a resource on the net to order a complete facsimile. I am seriously considering ordering one.

Some of the stuff I have read on the KJV is that it was produced after King James grew upset at the Bible notes primarily within the Geneva Bible on the lawful resistance of tyranny.

i think kjv is the best but i pefer to use ncv[new century version] b/c i can understand it better

Here is an excellent exposition on the problem with the "New Century" translation. Please read all of it:

I will definitely have to stick with the good old fashioned KJV bible That is the only bible I ever read and will probably be the only bible i will ever read!(If that makes any sense!)

I only trust the King James Version to be the best version for English people.
For example the New International Version in Isaiah 14 verses 12-15 describes the morning star as this:

And in the New International Version in Revelation 22:16 it describes the morning star as this:

Now it might be confusing to some people why this matters at all but the King James Version uses the word Lucifer where The NIV uses the words morning star in the Isaiah reference as follows:

Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Lucifer the Devil and Satan. Why would Jesus call himself by the same name "morning star" as Lucifer "morning star".
He most definitely would not! The NIV is from the Devil. It is plainly obvious.

I've always used the same Bible as did my kith and kin and call it my "straight stick".

It was the only one used (and it was black) in all the school-houses, pulpits and courtrooms back then. I think the judge would enter the room holding it above his head and everyone would rise in reverence to it.

We just called it Holy Bible. There was no king james reference said.

Amen to that Granny! I have a number of King James Bibles. I do not think I have any that have the word "version" printed on the cover. The King James Bible is not a version, it is God's Holy Word, it is inerrant and preserved as such for the believer.

In Christ,
George

Does anyone know anything about the English Standard Version? I have no infomationon it, but have been asked to pass an opinion on it. I have ben loaned a copy to assess, but don't have time to read it as I use the KJV.

The ESV may have some good points but it's NT is not based on the Received Text, therefore it is unreliable as it misses out verses and undermines the deity of Christ.

Thanks for your reply Bob, and your pm. I have dowloaded the information regarding the ESV from the Trinitarian Bible Society web site, it is very useful.

Whilst on the subject of the Trinitarian Bible Society, I received this email recently from my daughter.

The photos were of some posters on the platform, about 5ft high. The first is for a new musical Wicked and it says:

The next poster is from the TBS and says:

Seek ye the
LORD while
he may be
found, Call ye
upon Him
while He is
near.
Isaiah 55: 6

I would also have put on a poster:

Isaiah 5:20

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
